Hi Kevin: The first thing I suggest you do is to go through the (free) Simple Writing System Express course. You can sign up at http://www.SimpleWritingSystem.com.
I would also suggest you request a hot seat with John and Stan. They can give you some advice on your copy.
Hope this helps.

I would also go through the Member’s Guide. There is a link in the right column under Membership Details (“Complete Guide”)

So glad I can ask strategy questions here.
He’s my question: since I’m creating a new product, how do I come up with such fantastic claims are you are looking for in the USP?
Your copy examples for golf, guitar, sex etc are really great, fun to read and compelling. I can speak based on past experience, but nothing so “sexy” as the…Read more

Forgot to add: My target market is SaaS (software as a service) companies because 1) these are the clients I’ve enjoyed working with the most, 2) SaaS companies are particularly dependent on client retention thru subscriptions. It lends itself very well to my topic. 3) it’s a viable market.

Hi Debra: Since you are in the SWS coaching program you can ask Colin, and he will help you develop your USP. It looks like you have gone through the first 2 steps. The USP is step 3. Just watch the lesson video and post in the classroom.

@virginia-drew Thanks for the comments. Yes I am in. You are correct – Colin so far has pushed me to be better. Opened my mind to not just accepting what is on the forefront and to push for bigger insight. Liking this, and believe it’s what I needed! Also, been watching and listening to some of the other videos by John and Stan. Lot’s of great info here!

Hey there! Just got in today. Still waiting on my course access; yes I already put in a ticket to get that going.
A little about me: I’ve been online since the 1990’s, have worked in the Bay Area / NYC for startups in the mid ’00’s and I’m wanting to really just make a living by doing copy.
I’ve been doing affiliate/email marketing for the…Read more
